Just a quickie..not sure if its already been covered..apols if it has
My corn has not gone through the shed process lately...IE milk etc.. but i have noticed it looks like it is starting to shed from the top of his head...theres some white flakey scales...looks like someone peeling after too much sun... hes been like that a couple of weeks now...is it a sign of shedding startin or a health issue? |

Yeah something like that won't affect him at all, its the scales just doing their job, taking the damage saving the softer squishy bits inside from getting hurt. |

Yeah that's not shed related. it looks a bit like but more extensive than scale damage my corn got when he got his head stuck in an air hole and ragged it back out. Its not open wounds or anything so I would say it should shed out with no issues but have a good look at your vivarium for either something abrasive that he is squeezing under or a hole not quite big enough for him any more. |
